Here are some examples of me harmonizing.
Harmonizing a brief segment of Just the Two of Us, by Bill Withers, with Merideth Bull. I start about 30 seconds in. From 1/2021.
The above has more than six thousand views on YouTube. (Someone on YouTube suspected my harmony was auto-tuned, so I referred them to my raw take.)
Me harmonizing with myself on Something in the Way She Moves by James Taylor. From 1/2021.
(If you like, you can harmonize with me, or I can harmonize with you.)
I found Bo Heart’s beautiful vocal lead, and arranged an entire a cappella song around it. Every voice except Bo’s, including the percussion and steam, is mine.
I wrote this thinking of an old steam train, slowly starting off when the slave dies, and gradually coming to rest at the end as he approaches heaven – where life will be so much better than it ever was on Earth. This was written and recorded in 2009, and was featured in a chapter of the interactive e-book version of Debra Anastasia’s Poughkeepsie (as mentioned in my bio). Much more about this song, including Bo’s original lead track, can be found here.
Adding two parts of harmony to a great draggy version of Freefallin’ with @alybob on TikTok. From 1/2021
Harmonizing Slip, Sliding Away by Simon and Garfunkel. With David Trantham at the National Park Pub open mic, 9/6/2023
Improvising harmony for Killing Me Softly, a cappella, with a stranger on a crowded rush hour train into work, 8/15/2015. A simple and sweet experience that was seen by more than 800,000 people on YouTube.
Desperado by The Eagles. Contains two-part harmony, doubled (starting around halfway), which are all me (so four me-s). From An evening of songs with Angela, at The Lair Gallery, 10/20/2023. (Karaoke purchased here.)
Someone Saved My Life Tonight by Elton John. Features three-part harmony, doubled, all me. (It took eight hours to record and produce all six parts.) At the National Park Pub open mike, 8/23/2023. (Karaoke purchased here.)
